Manager Gary Waddock was so disappointed by the performance that he went over to the 222 travelling supporters after the game and apologised for the team's display, adding that it would be put right.
"I just felt that the fans needed some feedback," said Waddock, speaking to the News the morning after the game. "They were absolutely brilliant last night and many of them will have taken the day off to get to the match and only returned home in the early hours. And they had to watch what was a horrendous result.
"We have to put our away form right. It's not going to continue, put it that way. The problems have to be solved."
Reporter Charlie Oliver stated that it was not a good night for The Shots, turning in a performance in complete contrast to what they produce at home, and that he feels there will be plenty of hard work on the training ground at their base near Manchester, as Waddock tries to put his young squad on the right track, ahead of the trip to Rochdale on Saturday.
"I'm glad we're staying up in the north," said Waddock. "It means we're all here together and we can train both days before Saturday. If we'd travelled back to Aldershot we'd have dispersed and maybe not trained again until Friday.
"Although, to be honest, I wish we were playing Rochdale today, so we can move on from last night.
"But there is plenty to discuss, for me and Martin Kuhl, but with the players too. We haven't been through a period like this since I arrived. It is a test of character and I will learn a lot about my players over the next couple of days and next week too.
"I know there are players waiting in the wings and Martin and I have much to talk about. But neither should we panic. We have had a horrendous result and I am not happy - but nor are the players.
"We must stick together and get through this. And we will."
